    What We’re Not Supposed To Say About The MAFS Pregnancy Scandal

    Netflix has just unveiled its 2026 lineup, and everyone is talking about Stranger Things: Tales from '85. Laura reveals why the original cast isn't returning to voice their characters and whether it can actually capture the magic of the original world. Plus get a sneak peek on what you’ll soon be bingeing, from a new Heartbreak High to a Willy Wonka reality series.

    Then, we dive deep into the MAFS dinner party from hell. After a week of forced intimacy, the cracks are wider than ever. We discuss the cringey "Love Actually" moment that went wrong for Rachel and Steven, and why Steve (the silver fox) has officially become the most hated man on the show after his condescending treatment of Rebecca.

    Plus, a massive bomb has dropped in the Married at First Sight world, with bride Brook  officially confirming her pregnancy and engagement to her ex while she’s still appearing on our screens in the experiment. We unpack the messy timeline, whether she was "fake" the whole time, and Tina Provis shares her own behind-the-scenes secrets from life after Love Island (including how long you actually have to hide from the paparazzi after winning a show).

    7 Galentine’s Movies That Will Stop You Texting Your Ex

    We’ve put together the ultimate Galentine’s movie list designed to do one very important thing: stop you from spiralling into your notes app and texting someone who absolutely does not deserve access to you anymore.

    From comforting rom-com classics to surprisingly emotional slow burns, laugh-out-loud comedies and even a few “why did you pick this?” wildcards, Laura and Mon interpret the brief in wildly different ways — resulting in a list that swings between empowering, unhinged and deeply confusing (in the best way).

    Plus… a few truly rogue entries. Including the film Laura says made her never want to speak to another human again.

    From romance to comedy, and even a kids’ movie moment nobody saw coming — this list is chaotic, cathartic, and might just be the thing that saves you from reopening that old thread.

    Weekend Watch: A Dark Suburban Mystery &amp; A Scandalous Celebrity Romance

    This weekend, we’ve got two brand-new releases that are already making waves — and one must-know movie drop you won’t want to miss.

    First up,  a dark suburban comedy about a young couple moving out to the suburbs for a quiet life... only to discover that the street, the house across the road, and the new neighbour are all seriously unsettling. It’s funny, creepy, and packed with twists — plus, there’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo to spot.

    Then, we’re diving into the latest Ryan Murphy series, which chronicles one of the most iconic love stories of the ’90s. Think glamour, media frenzy, heartbreak, and all the drama that played out in the public eye. It’s messy, fascinating, and completely binge-worthy.

    Plus, a little PSA: Wuthering Heights hits cinemas this weekend — and don’t worry, we’ve got a brutally honest review coming next week.

    We Need To Talk About The Most Hated Person On MAFS &amp; James Van Der Beek’s Legacy

    James Van Der Beek has sadly passed away at the age of 48, and many people are mourning the loss of an actor and a series that shaped their young adult lives. So now it’s time to talk about his real-life romance that the world became obsessed with, his greatest role that nobody ever talks about, and how his co-stars are remembering him.

    Plus, we’re in the second week of Married At First Sight Australia, and the honeymoon is well and truly over for most of our couples. Now we have some burning questions to answer, like is the hatred against one of the women really justified, or is it all just a setup for the show? And why do all these men look so alike? Something strange is going on here.
